New York Red Bulls – Minnesota

Match Preview:

New York Red Bulls welcomes Minnesota in a match of the 4th round of the MLS regular season.

New York Red Bulls: The hosts are currently in the 5th position in the Eastern Conference, with 3 points won, after a win and a loss. New York Red Bulls opened the campaign with a convincing win (4-0) against Portland Timbers. However, they return home after their first loss of the season, a defeat (1-0) at Real Salt Lake. Still, they are unbeaten in their last nine regular season home games. Also, New York Red Bulls have outscored visitors 23-6 in that time and have kept clean sheets in three straight games.

Minnesota: The away team is taking the 2nd position in the Western Conference, with 6 points won, after 2 wins and a loss. Minnesota has put together back-to-back victories following an inspired win (2-1) against Chicago Fire in their home opener last Saturday. Last season wasn’t successful for them as they managed to win only 36 points and they were far from the Playoffs zone. However, after this promising start, they might have a better campaign, but they need to tighten up the defence.

Conclusion: Both teams want to continue with their good start of the season. Although the away team is in a good form, the hosts are strong favourites in this one and should be capable enough of celebrating a victory. Therefore, taking into account strong attacking play of both sides we can expect plenty of goals here.
